Scoutcast crew discuss how to handle Man City assets and Harry Kane

The Scoutcast crew have some important issues to discuss ahead of Gameweek 17.

The latest episode will broadcast from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

Manchester City players are starting to wane in terms of popularity but with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, there’s every chance they punish their sellers.

With very few of Pep Guardiola’s assets offering appeal right now, we sift through some of the strategies around them.

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode to talk about Manchester City.

Also on the agenda is what to do about Harry Kane (£10.9m), who flattered to deceive in the early games of Jose Mourinho’s Spurs reign, but exploded against Burnley.

Finally, we will discuss how best to approach Gameweek 18 when Liverpool and West Ham experience a blank thanks to the Club World Cup.

    No injuries for Abraham and Pulisic tonight right?

      Correct

  2. Sancidino

    Anyone thinking going no city for the next 3?

    2. Maneonthemap
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think KDB the only one worth owning and I’ll probably keep, switch to Son could easily work out though

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably keeping KDB, though tempted to drop for a few weeks

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think this is the first time in 3 or 4 years I haven't had a MC player on my team

  3. Maneonthemap
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Firmino to Rashford tonight a no brainer right?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      yep, but still games to play.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just sold him for Tammy.

  4. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone looking at a Button to Martin move?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Who does he play for ?

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't bother.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If nothing else to do go for it

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      West Ham are awful. Waste of a transfer

    5. Rover
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but after the BGW, and on a WC as a bench keeper switch around

  5. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have 2 FT with nothing else to do.

  6. Dele
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha >> Grealish worth it this week?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No Grealish on 4 yellow cards so if gets one week 17 misses week 18 when Liverpool and West Ham blank

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

  7. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Need to sacrifice a midfielder to have funds to get Tammy. Who would you sacrifice?

    A) Martial
    B) Pulisic

    1. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Thanks

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers

  8. juho
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Gonna do Jimenez --> Tammy now

    I don't want to be priced out of Son and Grealish next GW

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Both good options but Tammy better

  9. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who to bench?

    A) Soy
    B) Lund

    Cpt?

    1 Vardy
    2 Son
    3 Salah
    4 Rash
    5 Puli

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B 1

    2. juho

      B1

  10. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    My sons 1st round opponent in the FPL Cup, scored 82pts with a whooping 56pts in hits, net score for the week of 26pts.

    .Seems a trifle unfair to those that just missed out that hits were not taken into consideration for qualification into the competition.

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Are they not??

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nope. I didn't realise until my son said to have a look at his opponent. Not right really.

        1. norab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          And then hits are taken into account in the match ups. Doesn’t make sense.

          1. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            The guy also played his bench boost to make certain of qualification. He only started the team 4 GW's back. Could of played his WC, but then wouldn't of been able to play the bench boost.

    2. Gnu

      Can you send a link please, this shouldn't be the case.

      1. Monkey Hanger

          That's crap
          They've probably always done this but I've never picked up on it.
          I'd still be sending them an e-mail though, it's not right but perhaps too difficult to administer I guess.

          Would have made it with his GW15 team due to Vardy(26) Son 12 Maddison 9 Jimmy 5

  11. Joyce1998
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    son and tammy
    or
    alli and rashford

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      oooooo dilema

      Alli and rash for me as united fixtures are better

  12. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering TC Mane? I'm 100 points off mini league leader and yeah i think its time to take some risks.

    1. Bubi
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nope.

  13. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Henderson
    Lord*, TAA, Soy
    Mane, KDB, Maddison, Pulisic
    Ings, (V)ardy, Rashford

    Button, Kelly*, Cantwell, Tomori

    * play Kelly over Lord?

    1. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That's what I'm planning to do

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lord's attacking threat and potential for a haul swings it for me

  14. Klein
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son at 40% and 3 up. Do you guys think he will rise before deadline? Dont wanna do pulisic to son for hit this week but will be priced out if he rises.

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      U'll have a better idea closer to the weekend

  15. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who are you planning on captaining for GW 18? I'm looking at Vardy, Martial or KDB.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at Jimenez as it stands rn.

    2. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy on the counter against a vulnerable City defence

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy or Martial for me. Rashford a good option for those with him.

  16. Bada Bing
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A bit off topic, but I'm translating a documentary about Mourinho, and they're showing his press conference where he famously said: "Please do not call me arrogant because what I'm saying is true: I’m European champion, so I’m not one out of the bottle; I think I’m a special one." I don't understand this "one out of the bottle" part. Did he mean to say "one out of the bottom" or was that just a weird way of saying he wasn't just a regular manager. I'd be very thankful for any help on this!

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not a clear translation but it always sounded like not just one off the shelf so yes I'd would say 'not a regular manager'

      1. Bada Bing
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ok thanks, that's what I thought as well. It was just a weird expression I have never heard elsewhere.

    2. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way

      1. Bada Bing
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Could be! 🙂

      How's Tammy not rising! Fpl at it again?!

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        he will before the week is out

      2. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        making amends for protecting him from drop too many times probably..

    4. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      no tammy rise 🙂

    6. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tammy’s price change is screwed up

    7. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No Abraham rise but needed to avoid the Firmino drop for next week's plan anyway.

    8. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      An injury or two for Chelsea could make CHO an absolute bargain at that price.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not really. He isnt good fpl option.

        1. Klein
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          His points when playing for 5.5m is too good.

    9. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years

      Cheers Rainy. CHO was once considered a golden pick

  25. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Need to bench one out of this lot, which one?

    A Mousset
    B lund
    C soy

    1. Crazygopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably A.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Need to know Mousset fitness.
      Expect goals in that game for both teams so more about which SU player gets the attacking returns.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    Chances of Mount starting vs BOU?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      High

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Form is suspect. Fancy Frank to keep him on the bench

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thats what i think too unfortunately. Thinking to play Kelly ahead of him

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think if you've got him you have to play him considering he was benched for the CL tie.

  27. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on these moves with my 2 x FT's;

    Auba & Moutinho > Rashford & Shelvey

    or would you get Kane instead of Rashy?

    Cheers

    1. Crazygopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd probably go.
      Rash/alli or son if you can afford.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        sorry should have posted my full team.

        Already own Alli so was thinkin Shelvey might be nice diff for the next few GW's?

  28. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Really unsure what to do with 2FT and 0 ITB

    Hendo
    TAA Perreira Lund
    KDB Mount Mane Alli Son
    Vardy Mousset
    (Gaz, Kelly, Connolly, Rico)

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don't suppose there is anything meaningful you can do with Connolly having 0.0 ITB?

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade one of your keepers and upgrade elsewhere? It's tough, you don't really need to change anything.

  29. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you think Heaton is acceptable on a WC? I know Villa don't do many clean sheets but their fixture run gives them every opportunity.

    Going to do Mount to Alli after this GW so need to leave 0.1 ITB in case Alli rises before the deadline.

    Heaton
    VVD Soy Lund
    Mane KDB Son Mount
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    Martin Kelly Dendoncker Simpson

    Thanks

    Thanks

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years

      B. Better fixtures, and better form for Alli.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Phil even replies to the bottom post 🙂
        Blown the 2FT for this week.
        Thinking Dunk or similar defender in for GW18 for Robbo and Alli can wait for 19. I got the bench loaded already for 18 as I have triple pool right now.
